and 40 tooth gear is just over 1 inch in diameter.
Andrew, if you've got a set of calipers, try this: take 2 more than the number of teeth, and divide by the outer diameter (measure the outside diameter across the rounded outer surfaces of two opposed teeth). For a conventional AGMA involute spur gear, this will be the diametral pitch.

(I always assumed they were 32 diametral pitch, but then again, I never had to use them for anything. They could just as well be 0.8 module, which is 31.75 diametral pitch.)
